Abstract

Door opening and traversal is a long-horizon loco-manipulation task that requires precise handle interaction and coordinated base-arm control. We present Video2DoorTraversal, a single-video real-to-sim-to-real framework for wheel-legged mobile manipulators. Given one RGB video of a real door, DoorTwin reconstructs an instance-aligned, articulated, and simulation-ready door twin with realistic geometry and appearance. A simulation-in-the-loop agent converts the recovered articulation into a parameterized skill program and iteratively refines failed rollouts to generate physically executable demonstrations. These demonstrations are used to train ArticuACT, a dual-depth policy that predicts coordinated base, arm, and gripper commands using robot-centric camera conditioning and interaction-aware supervision. With all perception and policy inference running onboard, the system achieves a 96.57% average success rate across five real doors and an 80.95% zero-shot success rate on structurally similar unseen doors, while completing the full approach, opening, and traversal sequence in approximately 13s on average.
